The issue looks back at L.A. through the ages while continuing to give you contemporary standouts in service and retail. There are ...

" ... scores and scores of places rich with history dating to the 19th Century. So go have a Mary Pickford at the Tam O'Shanter and relive the Roaring Twenties ... Or make your own history at today's hottest clubs and hippest shops," reads the staff introduction.

The issue is your guide to L.A.'s best "food & drink," "places," "shopping & services," "music & nightlife," "mind & body," and more. Each section has a decade theme, starting with the 1920s.
